a lot of people don't seem to be able to enjoy a bit of Narnia, which I find sad, and it is a point well taken that one should be able to enjoy HP in the same way. I just liked the quotation about good sportsmanship. There is a big long discussion about the article going on on the Childlit listserv right now (and about Harry Potter in general!)

re the reviews... the same damn spoiler is in the BCCB review, but it otherwise melted my heart by calling Telemakos "kingly." (gosh, I can't even type it without smiling.)
